Headlight bricks are an essential ingredient for making many different patterned mosaics. Their unique shape allows for them to be pushed together into a "headlight brick square". This is an ideal starting point for pattern building. Headlight brick squares can be pushed together, and by using different colors of bricks, you can make many different patterns. It is also possible to add other bricks inside of or in between the headlight brick squares, creating more complex patterns.
